<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Most people know that Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827) was a German composer, a musical prodigy whose Symphony No. 5 is recognizable the world over from its opening four notes. What, perhaps, they don't know is that he was almost completely deaf for nearly half his life; that his father would often lie about when Beethoven was born to make his talents seem even more astonishing; that he wrote a sonata to be played with building implements and called it the "Hammer-Klavier Sonata"; and that he dedicated works to Napoleon and a dead poodle. <i>Biographic Beethoven </i>presents an instant impression of his life, work, and legacy, with an array of irresistible facts and figures converted into infographics to reveal the composer behind the compositions.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Marcus Weeks </b>has written extensively on music, philosophy, and psychology.
